Oftentimes, if a potential thief or vandal knows you have a dash cam, it will deter them from tampering with you. Dash cams provide added security for your vehicle by catching and recording accidents, break-ins, thefts, and vandalism on camera that can then be used in insurance claims or to help catch perpetrators.

Compare to the Soliom G1 380 as another surround-capture solution, or the Akaso Trace 1 Pro and Nextbase GW422/GW322 for traditional front/rear coverage. That said, Rexing missed a beat by not including interior infrared, so I can’t recommend it for nighttime use. In conjunction with the rear camera, however, it offers the best coverage of the area surrounding your vehicle that I’ve seen. How effectively the 360-degree camera works will depend on the size and layout of your cabin. The V360 is a very effective dash cam that’s easy and fun to use. It does nothing for the interior, however. The 120-degree rear camera takes good video at night, which compensates for the poor performance by the 360-degree camera to the rear. For some reason, the date and time are watermarked on the rear video, but not the front. The rear camera night capture below is adequate and compensates for the poor rear night image from the 360 degree camera. If you’re a ride-giver working at night, skip the V360, or find your own infrared lighting.Īny direction where there’s a modicum of light, the 360-degree camera will take decent night video. The lack of infrared makes its interior (and rear) captures basically useless–a major misstep on Rexing’s part in my book. The 360-degree camera’s night captures are adequate to the front. You can still see good detail even with the glass distortion. The lack of a good mounting spot in my convertible meant holding the rear camera by hand. Note that I was holding the rear camera in my hand, as there’s no place to mount it with a convertible top.

The quality of the 720p rear captures is certainly adequate for legal purposes and are playable in a normal video player without undo fish-eye distortion in evidence. That said, most cars have significantly larger rear windows. You’ll see far less out the back window with the 360 degree camera because of headrests and roof pillars. The quality of the day video is quite decent, given the amount of processing that must be performed. In a convertible, you can see just about everything around you with the 360-degree camera. That, and the distortion from the rear windows, are the reasons that a second camera is included. There are screen captures with the top up as well, to show you how roof pillars will obstruct some areas. I left the top down during much of my testing to give you a better idea of just what the v360 can cover. I’d prefer one that sticks to the window, you might not. It’s not meant to adhere to the rear window, but the molding or interior roof. The rear camera comes with a hard mount that you can screw down, or use sticky tape if you’d like a less intrusive solution. Rexing informed me that there is a suction mount available.

No horizontal adjustment is possible once it’s installed, so use a level or be careful when you install it. My test unit came with a large semi-permanent mount that the camera slides onto. The installation file for the VeeSee player can also be downloaded from the Rexing site, but that version failed on the two computers I tried it on. It’s placed in a exe folder when you first format a SDHC card (not included). Rexing is rather clever about delivering said VeSeeGo player. You can see in the image above why a special desktop player is required.

On the touchscreen, and with the special VeSeeGo video player that’s required to view the 360-degree captures on the desktop, the V360 displays video in several ways: wide (panoramic) ball (with full force fish-eye) split top and bottom showing the front and the rear and quartered, covering all four quadrants. You will not get this kind of coverage with a top or roof in place. Note that this was taken in a convertible with the top down. This is what the 360-degree camera’s output looks like if you don’t use the included (placed on your SDHC card when you format it) VeSeeGo player.
